Greetings from Germany,

Hi,

this is my newest miniature: a converted orc banner bearer.

I love that banner. Is it made of putty or from another mini? The only thing missing is a suitable insignia for it. Seems a shame to leave it just plain black

A truly wonderful piece, excellent. In fact it's exquisite.

Rognarr · **Posted:** Sun Jun 30, 2013 10:58 am

Jawdropping.. but i have to agree with ukfreddybear: a sigil, an emblem or something would really be the detail that makes that mini stand out!

Gene Parmesan · **Posted:** Sun Jun 30, 2013 2:45 pm

Excellent. I agree with the others though, an emblem would finish it off

Amazing work! I follow all of your work over at Lead Adventure, but I didn't know that you were also on One-Ring. Your painting always manages make me go "Wow!"

Thank you guys!

The idea behind the black banner is that i want to avoid any belongings to Mordor or Angmar for example. My next project is a orc horde straying in the Wilderlands. So i think a blank banner without any emblem is the best solution for that. Or what you do think? Are there any other orcish symbols than the red eye etc.?

Maybe one day i will take Azog as the leader of that horde. So maybe you also have any ideas about a banner for Azog?

what do you think about those standard (hehe, no pun intended) "faces" that the GW models have on their banner?
For example: http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_Cus ... 45x319.jpg

They are rather neutral in concerns of a faction. (at least in my opinion)

It is very well painted :yay:

However I would agree that an emblem is necessary.
I think maybe just a dripping red cross of 'blood' which would be neutral enough

Gene Parmesan · **Posted:** Mon Jul 08, 2013 1:32 am

Some sort of skull perhaps? Crudely painted in orc style of course.

Superbly painted!!!

But the only reason why banners exist is to show an emblem or a symbol....and there is no symbol on that banner.

Harfoot · **Posted:** Mon Jul 08, 2013 6:43 am

One of the old Merp books has the "Green Claw" as a fraction, really anything could be used and not set them to a faction.

Amarthadan · **Posted:** Mon Jul 08, 2013 12:09 pm

We want to see a symbol on there.

Your painting suggests you should be more than capable of it.

Grimhammers - superb.
Converted Orc Banner - sublime.
A plain black banner is rather intimidating. It says 'You Know Who WE Are. Prepare to Die'.

New update

The captain was converted by Gunslinger. Thanks again mate

Ukfreddybear · **Posted:** Mon Jul 29, 2013 5:32 pm

Nice conversion. Love it!

Dorthonion · **Posted:** Mon Jul 29, 2013 5:47 pm

The pointing orc is saying 'That one over there - he doesn't need his legs!'
Fantastic work. You have given them tremendous depth with the careful shading and highlighting, and every detail is visible. Great photos!

Rognarr · **Posted:** Mon Jul 29, 2013 5:51 pm
